If it was a paper investment Those have "maintenance" fees too at most brokerages.

  And even if they don’t, there’s still maintenance somewhere being paid by someone. Some are lower maintenance than others (physical gold you have to secure, etc) but everything needs at least some work to keep from wasting away. The point is that the simplistic “I made money selling my house” takes into account few if any of these costs (many which can be accounted as valid for the need of shelter).
